BIOPURE® GLDA
INCI: Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate (and) Sodium Hydroxide (and) Water
Overview
Biopure GLDA is a biobased chelating agent derived from sugar fermentation chemistry. This chelator can be used as a preservative booster, surfactant enhancer, dispersant, precipitation preventer, stabilizer, and anti-deposition agent in hard surface cleaners, laundry detergents, cosmetic and personal care products, industrial cleaners, fertilizers, pulp and paper production, wet wipes, polymer production, dishwashing detergents, and textiles. BiopureTM GLDA is manufactured using Mono Chloro Acetic Acid, Caustic Lye, and Mono Sodium Glutamate through a process of reaction & processing, resulting in Sodium Chloride as a by-product, followed by filtration. Tetrasodium N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)-L-glutamate 46.5 - 47.5%, Sodium Hydroxide 0.7 - 0.9%
